Colour Run
Last weekend, a group from our Federation took part in a 5km colour, obstacle rush at Wolverhampton Racecourse in aid of The Harry Johnson Trust. We had a fabulous morning and were all very colourful by the end! So far, we’ve raised a total of £465!
Decades Day
We have had a super day learning about all of the decades of Queen Elizabeth’s reign. We found out about life in the different decades and how it has changed since 1952. This included exploring clothes, TV, toys and music. For lunch Ro made us an eighties inspired dinner, with sponge and pink custard and in our P.E. lessons, we enjoyed ‘retro’ dances, including the Macarena, Whigfield’s Saturday Night and Achy Breaky Heart!
Here are some pictures of our day!
Grinshill Arts Week
This week has been ‘Arts Week’ this year our theme was commonwealth countries. We chose the Caribbean island of St Kitts. We did also include some Egyptian topic of the Eye of Horus.
The children have drawn flags and combined with a collage.
The children then drew and made traditional Caribbean festival masks.
